■Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the phone. Check regularly that all wireless phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or
carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the phone, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag,
remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including
installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless phone while in the air. The use
ofwireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of
theaircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
■Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch
off the phone at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution
areas, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
